This is one of my favorite shows ever, but I want to watch the older seasons more and more as this new season goes on. I know you want to showcase the talents in the auditions, so don't spend so much time on the interviews, just show the dancing. You get us roped into rooting for a dancer just because of their story, not their talent and then they don't make it through Academy. And dancers that haven't been showcased at all end up in Top 10.
Why so many audition and academy episodes. Used to be 2 or 3 tops, and why make top 20 such a big deal, if they don't even get any time in the spotlight before you cut 10 dancers in one ep!!!
Bring back the actual Top 20, or if you're gonna do Top 10, pair them with all stars and eliminate one at a time. We want to see these dancers grow and have time to learn other styles, like before. Now, if they're out of their comfort zone once, that's it, they're done for. I miss the dancer's development through the 9-10 episodes of live voting!
